23.01.2022 Have you seen our Smile Gallery? Whether it is for a single tooth or your whole smile, we assess each case individually in order to provide the most appropriate restoration/s, using the latest ceramic materials to provide an optimum aesthetic outcome. For more information, visit our website at https://www.melbournesmileclinic.com.au/smile-gallery

22.01.2022 We often get asked why radiographs (X-rays) are necessary. Essentially, the areas between teeth and under the gums are not visible to the naked eye and often, decay or cavities on these surfaces are not detected... Unless 'x-ray's are taken. Too often, teeth that appear intact and healthy to the untrained eye can be undergoing the early stage of decay and therefore, no pain is experienced. A toothache, when it arises, usually indicates that the decay is quite advanced and more complex treatment is required. For more answers to your dental questions, visit our FAQ page. https://www.melbournesmileclinic.com.au/faqs

18.01.2022 We are now back in operation under Level 3 Restriction levels for Dental Practices. Only Emergency dental treatment can be carried out under current restrictions. We thank you for your understanding. For more information about restriction levels, visit our website www.melbournesmileclinic.com.au

17.01.2022 This week is Dental Health Week! Good ways to start looking after your teeth are watching out for hidden sugars in your diet and a visit to your dentist if you have not had a dental check up in a while. Below is also an overview of how dietary sugar leads to tooth decay. For your dental check-up, the Melbourne Smile Clinic is open under restriction levels 2 for dental practices to ensure our patients and staff remain safe. For more information visit www.melbournesmileclinic.com.au

15.01.2022 In the fight against Covid-19, we cannot afford to be complacent. At the Melbourne Smile Clinic, being an accredited practice, infection control has always been at the core of our practice. Under Level 1 Restrictions, additional measures are in place. These include: screening of patients, use of disinfecting mouthrinse prior to starting a procedure and regular wiping of all surfaces in the waiting room. Find out more on our website: www.melbournesmileclinic.com.au

11.01.2022 When it comes to your teeth, absence of pain does not always mean absence of disease. Decay in teeth does not cause pain in the early stages. A tooth ache indicates the decay is advanced and either the treatment you need is complex or the tooth is not salvageable. Gum disease, similarly, can be asymptomatic in the early days, but left undiagnosed and untreated, can lead to premature tooth loss. Book your appointment at the Melbourne Smile Clinic and ensure you give your teeth and gums the care they deserve. www.melbournesmileclinic.com.au

10.01.2022 With the use of face masks becoming mandatory in Metropolitan Melbourne, we thought we would share with you how to make sure you are using your face mask safely and effectively with the following infographics from the WHO. In dental practice, practitioners and staff wear face masks throughout the day and change them regularly. Face masks become ineffective over time as they become moist from the wearer's breathing. For effective protection: - Make sure the mask is worn with t...he coloured side facing outwards. - Pinch the metal/plastic lined edge over the bridge of the nose for good fit - Make sure the mask covers BOTH the nose and mouth - Avoid touching your mask once it is on and never wear it around your throat. - To remove the mask, use the ear loops or ties to pull mask off. - Dispose of used mask in general rubbish straight away.

09.01.2022 How is your hand hygiene? Now more than ever, good hand hygiene is critical to prevent covid-19, but also the common cold and flu. At the Melbourne Smile Clinic, we are actually trained and certified in proper hand hygiene. Check that your hand hygiene technique is up to the required standard according to the WHO with the posters below.

09.01.2022 Due to the restrictions in place in Victoria, only urgent dental treatment can be provided from May 28th to June 3rd.

08.01.2022 Interesting article from theAge today: A Harvard Study suggests a link between certain cancers of the gastrointestinal tract and oral health. Oral health and general health are not separate. Make sure to continue looking after your oral health.

04.01.2022 In response to the surge in community cases of Covid-19, we have decided to again increase our precaution levels to follow Restrictions Level 2.

04.01.2022 Following directions from DHHS, Restrictions level 3 for Dental Practices are to be implemented again.

01.01.2022 Do you know how much sugar is in that snack? Sugar added to processed foods is not always labelled as sugar but as something else. The poster below lists the most common sugar products added to processed foods. That 'no sugar added' product might actually be full of hidden sugar. As this week is Dental Health Week, we want to share with you information that can help you make the right choice for your dental health. For all your dental health concerns, book your appointment at the Melbourne Smile Clinic www.melbournesmileclinic.com.au

01.01.2022 With the widespread wearing of face masks, many have become more aware that they might have a bad breath problem. What causes bad breath (aka Halitosis)? The most common cause is the bacteria in the mouth that grow on plaque. Plaque is the debris left from masticated food that remains stuck to the teeth surfaces, under the gum margins and tongue surface. Inadequate oral hygiene leads to the heavier plaque build up and the proliferation of bacteria that produce gases associate...d with halitosis. If you are concerned about halitosis, make sure to visit your dentist for a thorough check and clean and for a review of your home oral hygiene.
